Lets Talk about Scripture - Sermon Discussion Group

Today from 11:15 - Noon at a round table in the Reed Room you can become part of a discussion on

the Scripture and sermon of the day. Contact Mike at

mikethornton@cvaumc.org for more info or just come join the

discussion.

Do you feel God has been calling you to lead a Book Study group or

a Bible Study group? Or maybe you feel called to lead and join a small

group? If you would like to step out in faith and answer that call

please contact: mikethornton@cvaumc.org

Are you interested in "reaching

new people" with God's love and developing relationships in the

community outside of the church? There will be a brief one hour meeting this Monday May

4th 6:00 - 7:00 PM at the Starbucks at Fashion Square Mall. Come find

out about the mission!

During the month of May, the Outreach & Missions Team will be

collecting food items for the Emergency Food Network. EFN provides a 3-day food supply to individuals and families in the

Charlottesville-Albemarle area who find themselves in an emergency

without food. Monetary donations are also welcome. If you would like

to make a monetary donation, please make your check payable to

Aldersgate United Methodist Church, note "Emergency Food Network" on the memo line and

place it in the offering plate.

Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name. Thy Kingdom come,

thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the

kingdom, the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.

Last year we started what, we hope, will become an awesome annual tradition! So here's to year number two!

As Youth Group wraps up for the year we invite all youth, siblings, family, friends, church members, community members, etc. to join us for an end-of-the-year potluck at Aldersgate UMC on Sunday, May 17th in the Reed Room. Following the potluck (which begins at 5pm) the Youth Praise Band will perform a concert in the Sanctuary, blessing us with all the songs they've worked so hard on over the past year. This is also a great time to bring those 5th graders who will be moving into the Youth Group next year so they can get to know the awesome young folks they'll be hanging out with soon!

For the potluck - please bring a main dish, side dish, or dessert to share. Drinks and paper products will be provided.
